Anxiety or Fears
Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Do you find yourself constantly worrying about the future or anticipating that something will go wrong? Do you tend to ruminate about the past or feel like you're being judged? Anxiety can be a common aspect of modern life (especially with our ever-increasing digital connectedness), but it doesn't need to run yours. In fact, anxiety is often a way we attempt to cope with other difficult emotions like hurt, sadness, powerlessness, and anger. We will work together to identify the emotions driving your anxiety and develop more effective strategies, like mindfulness & radical acceptance, to cope.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Welcome! It is so common for us to expect everyone's anxiety to match our own experience. However, I want to start therapy by learning your language and your personal experience with anxiety. We’ll start with stories of when you notice an absence or smaller amount of anxiety present—environments, relationships, and activities where maybe you feel peaceful, content, and confident. We’ll talk through the patterns of when anxiety arises, what happens during the experience, how others respond, and what consequences follow the anxiety experience. After I’ve really learned your experience, we’ll begin to increase experiences of exception, building on those beautiful exhales and moments of glee. We may use EMDR or somatic therapy approaches to explore deeper roots and truly move through the embodied experience of fear. We can also use EMDR and imagery to practice tools and skills successfully for future experiences that often bring anxiety, so that when the experience occurs the amount of anxiety is lessened.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Anxiety is part of life and it can also consume too much of your life. When your relationship to anxiety has become destructive it can be overwhelming and feel impossible to overcome. I specialize in helping people feel relief from anxiety and working collaboratively to help people create a relationship with their anxiety that helps it be something that is useful in their life and not controlling their life.

“If you trade your authenticity for safety, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, rage, blame, resentment and inexplicable grief.” – Brené Brown
I would never question Brené Brown or edit any of her quotes – she rocks. But, I would add workaholism and the relentless pursuit of success to her list of things you experience when you’re not authentic. Talking to individuals in both my online therapy practice and personal life has shown me that when someone is not thriving in their authentic life, they overcompensate by focusing on work, achievement, and success. They do this to balance out their internal fear of being known as exactly who they are at the core. This leads to anxiety and feeling like you’re never good enough. Your anxiety is crushing and makes you feel miserable no matter how much success you achieve. So, how is being an overachiever a bad thing? I know some of you are thinking, “well if treat my anxiety, I may not be as successful, because my anxiety fuels my productivity.” Okay, but my question would be “at what cost?” Being an overachiever is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because you can be a rockstar, accomplish your (probably unrealistic) goals and obtain the accolades that make you feel good about yourself. Your internal motivation has gotten you where you are. The fire, the energy, the drive, the discipline, the consistency are amazing qualities that have propelled you through life, work, hobbies, passions, and many obstacles and challenges. Perfection is always in sight. But, as we all know, it’s rarely achievable. Aside from the fact that perfection is rare in general, the mindset of an overachiever is often stuck on “not good enough”. There’s always something missing. There’s always something more to be done, more to pursue and go after. I don’t want to keep you from being successful. My ultimate goal is to help you be your authentic self and live a life you love. I totally understand that working on your anxiety may not interest you, especially if you feel like it makes you be productive. But, let me assure you, you can be productive without being anxious. You do not have to live with the discomfort that anxiety breeds. Online therapy can help. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults just like you. I will work with you to identify the values that are most important to you. Perhaps this is being successful, well-liked, and respected. But, maybe there are other things that bring you joy. I will help you look at all aspects of your life and get to know the person you are at your core. Then, we will discuss how your behaviors prevent you from living an authentic life and we will discuss ways you can change them to be more aligned with the person you truly want to be. This will allow you to get back to living a happier more well-rounded lifestyle.

I utilize EMDR to help people resolve their anxiety. Many people don't understand why they have anxiety, or even if they know why, they can't help but feel overwhelmed by it. I help people heal and grow so their anxiety is reduced

Anxiety can be reduced greatly using psychonutrional approaches, and integrative work to balance the central nervous system. Once anxiety is managed, mindfulness strategies are taught and applied.
